Most Valuable Fish You Ever Caught?
« on: September 22, 2006, 03:57:26 PM »
Mine would have to be a nice Montana Brown. I figure that one ran me about $1000.00/pound. That's a pretty valuable fish right there, and I'd do it again tomorrow if I had the cash on me.

Sep's recent trip to the Catskills, and catching three fish, got me to thinking about that.

What's your most valuable fish?

Yesterday, I was at the bottom. I was at the bottom of a valley, in the river. Then my eyes hiked up the mountains to the snow capped peaks. I thought, "When I am at this lowest place I can be, standing in a river, everything is looking up."

Never, ever ask a fishing boat owner that question!  ;)

I'd have a real hard time working out that math personally....so many choices of trips where there was a lot more fishing than catching and not all close to home by any stretch.  It would probably have to be a little shark my son caught on a trip I took him and my dad on to Carabelle FL. The seas were terribly rough so we couldn't even get out of the bay, that was the only fish landed and I managed to run aground trying to get back to the marina one night and tore up the adapter thingy that lets my use a mercury prop on my Yamaha. Not to mention scratching the heck out of the side of my, then new,  boat on a pipe someone had driven into that wet sand that was marked as water on the chart.  I don't know what number to put on it, but I'm sure it's in the running with your brown Ron.

44 pound Dorado off the coast of Jamaica. The trip all together was $4000 but I got to sample the local flavor a little bit so that helped to offset the cost a bit…
